The medieval Gnostics the Cathars have become the stuff of legend - but what Scriptures were holy to them? In a new multi-part series Esoterica is exploring Cathar Scriptures from their relation to the Bible, the inheritance of Bogomil texts and the books produced in Italy and France by the Cathars themselves. Join me this Friday for the first episode of the series exploring their relationship to the Bible, along with the ancient Vision of Isaiah and the Secret Supper of John!

As an undergraduate over a decade ago, I wrote a term paper trying to argue that the Cathars had always been an indigenous movement without much direct influence from regions further east or obscure theologies from the distant past. I think I got a B+ and the professor said my argument was interesting but he wasn't convinced that the traditional narrative was incorrect. On the other hand, he may have recommended I read Mark Pegg's work which, as I recall, seemed to be among the modern sources calling into question the very existence of an organized Cathar movement. (Note: I haven't watched the previous episode in this series so I'm not sure if Pegg is discussed at all). A few years later I wrote an unpublished novel which took place in the 1930s and involved neo-Cathars stemming from late 19th c. France. This was before I knew such a modern movement had actually existed in the very same time and place I imagined one to be!

@Lennonka

This connection between cathars and Slavic tribes is fascinating. "Bogomil" could be translated as "a lover of God" or "someone who loves God".

The sass level in these episodes!! Feels like you'd enjoy r/trippinthroughtime.

@anndavejackash2984

Adding a new comment to an old upload, because spiritual enlightenment should not be so hilariously funny. But here we are.

@m.scottmcgahan9900

The thing about Christ being born through the ear of the angel Mary made a line from an Iggy Pop song pop into my head: "Well, I'm just a modern guy -- Of course I've had it in the ear before..." 🤣🤣🤣

Which hammer is Dr Sledge's hammer? It is not "The Witchhammer"/"The Hammer of the Witches" or Malleus Maleficarum...more Peter Gabriel than Heinrich Kramer. Dr Sledge is consistently hammering away with the Hammer of the Mages or Malleus Magorum. A forced entry into the Great Pyramid of Esoterica, for all those, who though not born with esoteric truths engraved into their hearts, yet still seek a way in using the Hammer of the Mages or Malleus Magorum.

Thank you so much for your dedication to uploading these obscure topics that aren't adequately documented on YT, or anywhere outside of higher learning facilities, so that layman such as myself can continue learning!!! Your work is most welcome & appreciated by me and so many others

Ear birth I can get behind, but being mean to my boy Enoch is simply not okay.

@harryhoofcloppen

Man, I was all excited to create a new Cathar movement until I saw your subtitle about “y’all Neo-Cathars better keep the ear part” so I decided my version will merge with Douglas Adams’s Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI who believe that the universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. So our eschatological text will cite “The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief” (or I guess Q-tip)

This work is such a gift! As a person born and raised Catholic, who had a crisis of faith and then subsequently decided to Reclaim "Catholic" as my strongest authentic cultural identity, its incredibly powerful to be aware of the looooong interaction between the so called "Gnostic" and "Orthodox" currents. Im sympathetic to a lot of "gnostic" thought and use it to color my deconstruction of traditional catholic theology in favor of the liberatory and mystical possibilities. Thanks again for sharing such amazing insights onto these historical processes!

While the erudition provided Dr. Sledge is fascinating, I have to admit, it's his desiccated humor that brings me back. He gives his presentations in eloquent, professorial style, but then occasionally slips into common speech with phrases like "real complicated", oftened accompanied by a sarcastic eye-roll.

Always been very interested in the Gnostics and their gospels. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

@mau_lopez 2 года назад

Fantastic episode. Love to know about the history and the actual views of the people that were part of those ancient traditions like the Cathars and the Gnostics. Personally, in recent years I've become more and more convinced that they were on to something that really can explain what is going on in this experience we call physical reality... Thanks so much Dr. Sledge for sharing your research here!

Catharsis is a high energy word and the story behind it is just magical !

A 30 minute summary of what it took me 30 years to affirm...🧐 Always excellent work 👏

Love the long videos BTW. Should be a good hour in length; you exude that good academia I'm enamoured by. Keep it coming, I can't get enough.

@ninetales6485 2 года назад

Thank you for this! I've read those scriptures but you have provided me some important context that a non-academic like me wouldn't be able to find! Once again, from this old Sorcerer's heart, thank you!
